8 SALON INTERNATIONAL JANUARY 2021
Hope springs eternal, and Salon International-India's 12th
Anniversary Special is all about a promising tomorrow. We
began our journey with hope in our hearts and an unwavering
determination to bring about a positive change in the mindsets of
people. Back then, the beauty business was an unorganised cluster of
parlours being run by wealthy owners who lacked skill and training.
Those who were desirous of education travelled abroad as in India
there were no beauty schools. Needless to say, learning was done on
the job. Over time, however, the situation improved and with the
arrival of international professional brands in the country there was
some semblance of order. Cut to today and I have to say, the industry
has come a long way! Within a decade the beauty and wellness
industry has grown manifold and guess what - there is potential for
stupendous growth still!
Or so we thought. 2020 came and we were struck by the deadly
pandemic. The impact was so debilitating that several brands and
establishments decided to wrap up their operations, while some
decided to go slow. With this as a backdrop, the In Focus section has
been created. We speak to stakeholders for their views on the status
of the industry, their renewed marketing strategies and business
recovery plans for FY21-22. As they say, hope oats.
In the Hair section, we meet Victor Alonso, a celebrated hairdresser
from Valencia in Spain. He is a respected third generation hairdresser
since his grandfather, Juan Andrés Hernández, began the path
that the others would follow. He juggles between being a trainer
for several hair brands, hairdresser, and also the owner of Espacio
Kibo, his salon. What’s more, in 2020, he was the nalist at Contessa
Awards in the International Hairstylist category! In the International
Stylist section, be ready to be mesmerised by Xavier Arcarons from
Barcelona. His collection called Euritmia has the ability to take your
breath away. From enigmatic colour placements to texturised cuts,
the techniques have been worked upon and honed for years. But one
cannot beat the expertise and mastery of our home-grown Ritesh
Ashok Limbachiya! Again from the third generation of hairdressers,
Ritesh nished his basic education and then decided to study
hairdressing in detail. He joined Kromakay Salon 12 years ago and
under the able tutelage of Kanta Motwani has risen to be an expert at
cut, colour and styling.
In the Beauty section, Monika Rastogi shares her dreams as an
independent make-up artist. And what make-up cannot correct,
doctors will x - four of India's best dermato-surgeons share their
favourite aesthetic procedure that are easy to do when one is working
from home. Take your pick from trending nail art, but the cutest and
cosiest is that of Sweater Nails. We present a step by step guide!
In Spa Focus, we showase award-winning and visually superlative
spas and hammams from around the world and apprise you on their
design principles. We also bring to you excerpts from the life of Dr
Vishnuraj Prakash, who is the Head Ayurveda at the Vana Retreat in
Dehradun. He shares his views on the status of the wellness industry,
Ayurvedic therapies, and more.
All this and lots more in this energetic issue of Salon India. It is our
previledge and honour to bring to you informative articles on the
latest in the beauty and wellness industry of not only India but even
abroad. With optimism in my heart, I along with my team, wish our
stakeholders and readers a spectacular 2021!

Getting started After I nished school, I tried different things to know what I wanted to do in life. It was the most important decision. I wanted to be certain that it was passion that was driving me towards hairdressing. I started studying in the academies in cities like London, Paris, and Milan and was lucky to receive training from great professionals like Anthony Mascolo of Toni&Guy. After six years of training, in 1996, I began to ‘play’ at being like the greats and in a very humble way I made my rst collection. Of course to get there I needed to see an in nite number of haircuts, colours, textures, shapes, and hairdressers.
Anecdotes from that timeEveryone in the family met constantly and of course, what were the conversations about? All about hair. I remember I was with my grandfather and his client he was working on, and I did something wrong. I suddenly felt a little smack on my head and looked up to see my grandfather staring at me. That one look was enough for me!

Another time - all of us (my mother, me and my brothers) were in a training meeting. We would only stop to have dinner and share pizzas. There were many sleepless nights and a lot of hard work behind the salon, but in the end we are what we are trained for, and I am very satis ed.
The trips with my brother or with the artistic team to several cities were incredible, especially the rst training shows, where my brother and I had to do everything! I remember all kinds of things that went wrong - from forgetting the models’ clothes to falling asleep and getting up just in time to on stage. It has been an amazing journey!
Professional educationI have done countless courses from Italy, France and the US. Wherever I would see something that interested me, I would travel there. I have invested a lot in training, but it is absolutely necessary if you want to reach the top.
Mentors My mother! She taught me good hairdressing, how to think big and how to ght for my dreams.
Challenges faced back thenChallenges are part of life, what is important is attitude and predisposition. I had to learn to manage a company on the VICTOR ALONSO

MATRIX SoColor introducesHair PaintingThe hottest international hair colour technique brought to India exclusively by MATRIX
Hair Painting has been one of my most loved techniques in the world of hair colour. I love the fact that it gives a smoother finish as compared to other existing techniques; it is almost like being an artist working on the canvas of my client’s hair. There are no big colour cuts and it is difficult to decipher where new colour starts and ends as it all blends in seamlessly like a painting. It is ideal for all the women out there who are easygoing and uncomplicated as these highlights do not affect the roots once the hair starts growing and can last up to 16 weeks without a touch-up! Making a fashion statement has never been easier with beautiful, healthy hair that has a natural blend of colours and shine.”
– Alfre LewisGlobal Head of MATRIX Education
About the stylist Xavier Arcarons is the founder of Xavier Arcarons Perruquers, hair salon located in Granollers, Barcelona. As he confesses: “Someone very special in my life believed that one day I could be a good hairdresser and encouraged me to try. I got hooked.” From here, Xavier began a career in the sector by studying at Sassoon Academy, and gradually he moved towards cutting-edge hairdressing. The styles are in line with the latest trends and combining daily work with clients with the creation of his own hairdressing collections.
After working at Margaret Perruquers for nine years, Xavier decided to start his own project and inaugurated Xavier Arcarons Perruquers, an avant-garde salon, where the latest trends in hairdressing and excellent service merged, contributing to the unbeatable experience of the customers.
About the collection From the Latin Eurythmia, the Spanish word emerged and it de nes the act of moving harmoniously in search of beauty. Also refers to a state of mind, an emotion that over ows despite its false stillness.
Inspiration behind itThe stylist drew inspiration from the works of the Dutch sculptor Peter Jansen and the designer Iris van Herpen.
Techniques used With this work Xavier creates an image of movement in a static sequence in time. For this reason, in this collection geometry and volume take us to a new language in which nothing is what it seems and in which hair invites us to escape. The collection may seem bold and edgy at rst sight but the combination of colour hues has harmoniously balanced and could be used as a base and inspo for many looks and styles.
